First I want to give my sincerest condolences to the family and I'm keeping all of them in thought and prayers . When I met Edith I can tell you she had a heart of gold the sweetest lady I ever met. I was not only her housekeeper I also cared for her. We set and shared many memories of my family and hers, worked on puzzles. I was always fixing her tv lol. We would laugh and tell jokes. Edith definitely will be missed . I loved that lady . Rip my Sweetest Anita Ambers.
